Vday Woes

I have no idea what to get Keith for Valentine’s day.  At first he wanted an Ipod then he changed his mind. Then he wanted a tattoo and changed his mind.

I really need to know. Thoughts?

I am getting my nose pierced and a new monroe stud.

Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment

Tonight, Keith has a show with the Vivs @ Ziggy’s. I shall be there in a skirt.  Remember the whole experiment thing? Its still going on and working out interestingly well.

I have reconnected this week with an old friend, I am happy to say.  We had a brief falling out before, reconnected, then we (i) dropped off the face of the earth.  It has been great. I am in a terrific mood over that.

In less than exciting news, (Katrina, give me the details woman), my doctor has decided shock treatment is the way to go. He brought it up this visit. Said to research it more on my own, discuss it with Keith and let him know next month what we decide. Said that it should only take three (ONLY THREE??) sessions to fix the depression.  But it will make my mania worse so we will have to up the meds for that.  So I am going to be doped out of my gills even more than usual, apparently.

Yeah that’s all for today. I must go rinse my hair dye away and look beautimus for when I pick up the girls and Keith gets home.

Fill In The Blank

1. Please don’t tell _Keith that I don’t want to stop smoking yet_.

2. Can you _make Keith kiss me_ in the morning?

3. The color _red_ makes me want to _dance_!

4. I have a craving for _Krystals_.

5. If my life had a pause button, I’d pause it _when I had Abby and record every second of it because I have forgotten so much of my life and that is the one memory I would love to retain forever_.

6. Eyes are the _- yes – windows to the soul_.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to _The Vivs and Local Union show, tomorrow my plans include _grocery shopping and shooting some new pics with Keith_ and Sunday, I want to _sleep late but I can’t because of church_!

So True…

“Joy is the feeling of grinning inside.”

Yup, I am grinning inside today.  Still.  Can you comprehend what an extra 400+ a month is going to do to our budget?  WOOHOO!!!

Needless to say, Heather is NOT happy and talking about how this creates a -400+ in her budget.  Maybe …hmmm.. what could we do in this case? GET A JOB?!?!?!?!?!

AND she doesn’t get our tax refund this year. That is amazing too.  She, in the past, has gotten half or all of it.  Now we get the whole damn thing.

Keith can get his passport (it was revoked because he “owed” so much money and we can go to the Bahamas in the spring! WOOHOO!!!

I don’t think I have anything else to say at this point other than woohoo!!

WOOFREAKINHOO!!!!

Keith went in this morning to the child support office – again – to get them to review his case….

ready for this???

He supposedly (according to Heather) owed around 7K in back CS.

They wiped it out due to all he has paid her.

AND

His cs went from 217 a week to…..

53 a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PhotoHunt 147: Furry

Not exactly what I expected when I decided to do a search for a furry picture, but I like it.

Addictions

I gave up drinking – except for special occasion glasses of wine.

I am trying to give up smoking – it doesn’t work so well.

I gave up (for the most part) all drugs that aren’t prescribed by my doctor. (Good thing he gives me good drugs).

I don’t gamble. I don’t play online games.  I don’t watch TV – I actually got rid of the ones in all our bedrooms because I. just. don’t. like. TV.

But I cannot kick the book addiction. I don’t get it. I have tons of books that I haven’t read yet. I have shelves of books that I have read multiple times and just might read again.  I have books about books. I have books on marriage, books on parenting, books on whether or not Mary Magdalene really got it on with Jesus (She didn’t).

I make lists of books to read.  I make lists of books to order from interlibrary loan.  I make lists of books to buy.  I make lists of authors that I.must.check.out.immediately.  But then I mostly dislike them.

So why the insane need of books? What kind of weird addiction is it?  I love them, don’t get me wrong. But really, how many books does one need?

Wait.

There are never enough books.

Disregard my ramble.

Boys Night?

So Keith and I were being lazy hanging around the house, about to go to the grocery store when we heard a KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK on our door. Its Jason, the lead singer of Local Union and one of our dear friends.  Dear friends as in he has rights to walk into our house and open the fridge and root through it to find something to eat.

Anyhoo…  I went out to the store by myself (got the makings for Super Bowl Chili and pizza for tonight), came home and they are watching a DVD on building a hot rod.

Needless to say, I am avoiding the living room now.  I put on my pjs, throw the pizza in the over, read a couple of chapters of Change of Heart and head to the computer – my home away from home.

Did I mention that I am doing an experiement?  Every day before Keith gets home, I shower {!!!!! yes I shower!!!!!} and then dress up – typically in a dress or a skirt. Why? Because the other day, I was on the phone with Keith and told him “I just did my eyebrows… I know you care!”  Do you know what his response was? “Well actually I do care.  We guys like it when you go the extra mile to look nice for us.” So here I am at the end of week one.  I have worn a skirt (or dress) every day for a week and we all seem happier.  He, because I look nice and not like a bag lady. Me, because I actually feel pretty dressing up for no special occasion.  Let’s see how much longer this lasts.

So how’s that for a Friday night? No kids.  Pizza.  Hot Rod building DVDs. A visit to Walmart – in a skirt and tights and I could have sworn my skirt was riding up a few times and the people in Walmart were snickering. But htye were probably snickering at their own stupidity. Or my skirt with my red converse and grey leggings.

Off to read a couple of chapters of Blue Like Jazz again. Then switch back over to Change of Heart and hopefully my Supreme Spicy Chicken Pizza will be ready.

The New Blogging Era

Yeah, i don’t blog like I want to. i have so many thoughts in my head and nothing comes out of my mouth – or my hands, as the case may be.  I want to ramble. I want to talk I want to all of you guys but what it boils down to is I have nothing to say.

I am in a horrid funk lately and this picture made me smile.

There are no real updates to post about. I am going to try to post every day though. I feel the need for human interaction and this might be the closest I get.
